Camellia Oil - Tsubaki Oil - 100ml

Camellia oil for knives - natural rust protection

Tojiro Camellia Oil (Tsubaki Abura) is a traditional Japanese maintenance oil in a 100 ml bottle that extends the life of your quality knives. This food-safe oil creates a protective film against rust and corrosion while helping to maintain the knives' aesthetic appeal.

Ideal for maintaining Japanese knives and other high-performance carbon steel knives that require special care to resist moisture and oxidation.

Natural protection against rust and corrosion

For centuries, camellia oil has been the preferred protection for Japanese swords and knives. It forms a thin, protective barrier on the knife blade that effectively keeps moisture and oxygen at bay—the two main causes of rust. The oil penetrates the microscopic pores of the steel, providing long-lasting protection even under demanding kitchen conditions. Its natural composition also means it won’t go rancid over time, making it perfect for long-term storage and regular use.

Food-safe and neutral

Unlike industrial oils, camellia oil is entirely natural and food-safe. It leaves no strong odor or taste that could affect your ingredients. The oil's lightweight consistency makes it easy to apply and remove without leaving sticky residues. This is especially important in a kitchen, where even small amounts of foreign substances can alter the flavor of food. Its neutral character also makes it suitable for knives used with delicate ingredients like fish and fruit.

How to use camellia oil correctly

First, wash the knife thoroughly with warm water and mild soap. Dry the knife completely with a clean towel—any remaining moisture can hinder the oil's effectiveness. Then, apply a thin layer of camellia oil with a soft cloth or paper towel. Let the oil sit for a few minutes, and then wipe off any excess oil. Repeat the treatment as needed, depending on how often you use the knife. Knives used daily should be treated weekly, while infrequently used knives can be treated monthly.
